Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Chicken Taquitos.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a light spray of cooking spray to a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your taquitos don’t stick.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine tender chicken with shredded Cheddar cheese, and add hot pepper sauce to your liking for that perfect kick—mix it all together until well blended.
Step 3
To make your tortillas nice and pliable, warm each one in a skillet over medium heat for about 10 seconds on each side; this little step makes rolling them a breeze.
Step 4
Now, take a warmed tortilla and scoop about a heaping tablespoon of the delicious chicken mixture onto one half.
Step 5
Roll it up tightly from the filled side, tucking in the edges as you go, and place it seam-side down in your prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Repeat this delightful process with the remaining tortillas and filling, creating a beautiful array of taquitos.
Step 7
Once you’ve filled the dish, pop it into your preheated oven and let them bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and crispy—just the way you like them.
Step 8
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await this tasty treat!.
